My sunrise set of Chinese and Asian inspired bass music for Threshold - Chinese New Year Party - 2012 - Enter the Dragon. It's a mixture of dub, trip-hop, luvstep, dubstep, and other styles. The line-up included Ana Sia, David Starfire, Vokab Company, Pumpkin, Marv Ellis, Solovox, Bridgetown Revue and much more... Put on by SijaPDX and Diggable Monkey as a fundraiser for the Portland Artist Clinic. https://www.facebook.com/events/249510408446206/
I had played several gigs in Shanghai and Beijing just prior to this event and spent a lot of time trying to track down quality and amazing music for this sunrise set that would not wipe out the crowd with exhaustion nor bore them away. And I didn't want to play any track I'd played in previous years. Definitely exciting things are happening in China with music, a lot of it crossover work between European/American expats and locals, but local producers are making great music as well. It was hard to track things down I heard either because people didn't know what it was or because the artist wasn't ready to let it out there (I would have killed to have an amazing drum-n-bass track with Chinese vocals I heard someone from Heatwolves drop at the Friend or Foe record release party, but for now I still patiently wait). In any case, I generally prefer to not repeat artists in my sets, but in order to keep the flow going at the pace I wanted, that's definitely not the case here. I hope you enjoy.

Sacred Spaces was a Burning Man camp that had lots of intentional workshops and sacred geometry, as well as great music at night. Last year I played there after Random Rab and Emancipator.
